Selling Diabetic Supplies to Help Cover Out-of-Pocket Costs

Diabetes is one of the most expensive chronic conditions to manage. The average person with Type 1 spends $9,000–$13,000 per year on supplies, insulin, and care. Selling your surplus can put a meaningful dent in that number.

Who Typically Has Surplus Supplies

People whose insurance overprescribes (90-day refills when 60 days is enough)
People switching CGM systems (old sensors pile up)
People who received samples from their endocrinologist
People whose condition changed (no longer need strips after starting CGM)
Family members managing supplies for a loved one

How Much Can You Actually Make?

It depends on what you have. A realistic example: if you've accumulated a 3-month backup of Dexcom G7 sensors (9 extra sensors), that's worth up to $350. That could cover a month of insulin copays, a year of lancets, or a specialist appointment.

Surplus	Estimated Value	What It Covers
9 Dexcom G7 sensors	Up to $350	~1 month insulin copay
Box of Omnipod 5 pods	Up to $90	Several copays
10 boxes of test strips	$80–$160	Lab fees, office visit

Is It Worth the Effort?

For CGM sensors and pump supplies: yes, absolutely. For test strips: yes if you have multiple boxes. For a single box of strips: the effort is minimal — one message, one label, one drop.
